Primary materials such as federal and state statutes are located in the open stacks.  They can be removed from the shelves and placed in journal carrels during the cite checking process.

Two state codes are not like the others. 

You won't find the Pennsylvania and New Jersey annotated codes on level 5A.  Due to high demand, they are shelved in the closed stacks.  Request the title you need at the library desk. 

Because they are on reserve, they may NOT be checked out long-term.
